What a great backstory for Innoril. Now your going to make me collect Indy figures for fodder. I'm trying to sware away from Indy except for just one to compare against my vintage Indy. Even though I can see some ways to "improve" the Indy figures with Star Wars parts.

Darth Zannah - This one is a commission. I rarely do those anymore due to lack of time mostly. I believe she was Darth Bane's apprentice. She's probably not really all that accurate, I didn't have much to go on with this one.

Ancient Power Droid - This droid, named AP-G4 is the precursor to the "Gonk" power droids. AP-G4 has been in hiding for centuries on Dantooine, and fears that he will soon be discovered and dismantled for spare parts.

parts - WALL-E droid, Y-Wing engine

Paalinlapp Faggirmon - This Elom slob lives on Coruscant and is essentially a drunk beggar. He has often been seen shifting through the trash at Dexter's Diner, looking for anything he can find to eat.

Rykrof Enloe - This is an idea that I've wanted to try and create for a while, a smuggler/rebel type outfit for Rykrof. Depending on the direction the photonovel series takes, Rykrof might appear like this someday.

Update time... I've had a bit of a slowdown the past few months on customizing... really because of trying to figure out how to be a parent which results in a lack of time, and struggling to keep my photonovel series going. I'll post the latest two chapters shortly in the PN section here.

Anyways, here's what I've finished up the past two months... I guess it's still a decent number of customs but I wish I could make more.

General Snodd - Nemoidian General who has appeared in a few chapters in the Rykrof Enloe series... look for all those who oppose him to Kneel Before Snodd soon... heh... also, the pics are a bit dark on him for some reason. He has pretty good articulation and I was able to get it to where his paint won't chip at the elbows or knees, which is a plus.... Kneel Before Snodd!!!

Gotal Citizen - Just for the fun of it, since I like making aliens. He might show up in a photonovel... his paint scheme seems realistic enough, but it's so bland... not sure if I like it all that much actually. He might need a repaint.

Trumit - A Nemoidian Podracer... silly looking custom, but I could see him racing a pod I guess. I ended up glueing his elbows so they don't bend, but they do swivel. This was because the paint started to chip... so I glued, then repainted. Ok for a background filler guy for dioramas too.

Jegsar - Duros Bounty Hunter... or whatever... a Duros with armor and a blaster. Heh. This one really didn't turn out like I wanted... he doesn't have as much articulation as I'd like (basically the waist is useless). And in all honestly I think that I hate this figure.

These last ones are all for the latest Yakfinities Customizing Challenge, which was extended to be a two-month challenge. I made quite a few of them because participatin has been lacking a bit lately. It's hard to keep people interested in these since they've been going on now for about two years.
